Basit A, Lim KB. Systematic approach of polyploidy as an evolutionary genetic and genomic phenomenon in horticultural crops. PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 348:112236. [PMID: 39186951 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2024.112236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
Polyploidy is thought to be an evolutionary and systematic mechanism for gene flow and phenotypic advancement in flowering plants. It is a natural phenomenon that promotes diversity by creating new permutations enhancing the prime potentials as compared to progenitors. Two different pathways have been recognized in studying polyploidy in nature; mitotic or somatic chromosome doubling and cytogenetics variation. Secondly, the vital influence of being polyploid is its heritable property (unreduced reproductive cells) formed during first and second-division restitution (FDR & SDR). Different approaches either chemical (Colchicine, Oryzalin, Caffeine, Trifuralin, or phosphoric amides) or gaseous i.e. Nitrous oxide have been deliberated as strong polyploidy causing agents. A wide range of cytogenetic practices like chromosomes study, ploidy, genome analysis, and plant morphology and anatomy have been studied in different plant species. Flow cytometry for ploidy and chromosome analysis through fluorescence and genomic in situ hybridization (FISH & GISH) are the basic methods to evaluate heredity substances sampled from leaves and roots. Many horticultural crops have been developed successfully and released commercially for consumption. Moreover, some deep detailed studies are needed to check the strong relationship between unique morphological features and genetic makeup concerning genes and hormonal expression in a strong approach.

Abstract
Assembly of complete genomes can reveal functional genetic elements missing from draft sequences. Here we present the near-complete telomere-to-telomere and contiguous genome of the cotton species Gossypium raimondii. Our assembly identified gaps and misoriented or misassembled regions in previous assemblies and produced 13 centromeres, with 25 chromosomal ends having telomeres. In contrast to satellite-rich Arabidopsis and rice centromeres, cotton centromeres lack phased CENH3 nucleosome positioning patterns and probably evolved by invasion from long terminal repeat retrotransposons. In-depth expression profiling of transposable elements revealed a previously unannotated DNA transposon (MuTC01) that interacts with miR2947 to produce trans-acting small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), one of which targets the newly evolved LEC2 (LEC2b) to produce phased siRNAs. Systematic genome editing experiments revealed that this tripartite module, miR2947-MuTC01-LEC2b, controls the morphogenesis of complex folded embryos characteristic of Gossypium and its close relatives in the cotton tribe. Our study reveals a trans-acting siRNA-based tripartite regulatory pathway for embryo development in higher plants.

Abstract
Discrimination of chromosome is essential for chromosome manipulation or visual chromosome characterization. Oligonucleotide probes can be employed to simplify the procedures of chromosome identification in molecular cytogenetics due to its simplicity, fastness, cost-effectiveness, and high efficiency. So far, however, visual identification of cotton chromosomes remains unsolved. Here, we developed 16 oligonucleotide probes for rapid and accurate identification of chromosomes in Gossypium hirsutum: 9 probes, of which each is able to distinguish individually one pair of chromosomes, and seven probes, of which each distinguishes multiple pairs of chromosomes. Besides the identification of Chrs. A09 and D09, we first find Chr. D08, which carries both 45S and 5S rDNA sequences. Interestingly, we also find Chr. A07 has a small 45S rDNA size, suggesting that the size of this site on Chr. A07 may have reduced during evolution. By the combination of 45S and 5S rDNA sequences and oligonucleotide probes developed, 10 chromosomes (Chrs. 3-7, and 9-13) in A subgenome and 7 (Chrs. 1-2, 4-5, and 7-9) in D subgenome of cotton are able to be recognized. This study establishes cotton oligonucleotide fluorescence in situ hybridization technology for discrimination of chromosomes, which supports and guides for sequence assembling, particularly, for tandem repeat sequences in cotton.

Cytogenetics and Consequences of Polyploidization on Different Biotic-Abiotic Stress Tolerance and the Potential Mechanisms Involved. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 11:plants11202684.

Abstract
The application of polyploidy in sustainable agriculture has already brought much appreciation among researchers. Polyploidy may occur naturally or can be induced in the laboratory using chemical or gaseous agents and results in complete chromosome nondisjunction. This comprehensive review described the potential of polyploidization on plants, especially its role in crop improvement for enhanced production and host-plant resistance development against pests and diseases. An in-depth investigation on techniques used in the induction of polyploidy, cytogenetic evaluation methods of different ploidy levels, application, and current research trends is also presented. Ongoing research has mainly aimed to bring the recurrence in polyploidy, which is usually detected by flow cytometry, chromosome counting, and cytogenetic techniques such as fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). Polyploidy can bring about positive consequences in the growth and yield attributes of crops, making them more tolerant to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the unexpected change in chromosome set and lack of knowledge on the mechanism of stress alleviation is hindering the application of polyploidy on a large scale. Moreover, a lack of cost-benefit analysis and knowledge gaps on the socio-economic implication are predominant. Further research on polyploidy coupling with modern genomic technologies will help to bring real-world market prospects in the era of changing climate. This review on polyploidy provides a solid foundation to do next-generation research on crop improvement.

Near-Hexaploid and Near-Tetraploid Aneuploid Progenies Derived from Backcrossing Tetraploid Parents Hibiscus syriacus × ( H. syriacus × H. paramutabilis). Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13061022. [PMID: 35741783 PMCID: PMC9222940 DOI: 10.3390/genes13061022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Hibiscus syriacus, azalea, is an important woody ornamental shrub planted throughout many temperate and subtropical regions of the world. However, flower size is smaller in this species than some of its relatives. To increase flower size, interspecific hybridization has been used, and such hybrid cultivars are usually characterized by larger flowers, increased vigor, diverse leaf shapes, and reduced fertility. Our earlier studies have shown that these hybrid cultivars could backcross with H. syriacus when used as male parents. To understand the breeding potential of these hybrid cultivars, two popular tetraploid hybrid cultivars, ‘Lohengrin’ and ‘Resi’, were used as pollen parents to backcross several tetraploid H. syriacus cultivars. As a result, 28.76% and 64.4% of ‘Lohengrin’ and ‘Resi’ progenies exhibited larger flowers than both of their parents. Interestingly, 14 of 18 progenies of ‘Resi’ were putative hexaploids, whereas 19 tested ‘Lohengrin’ progenies were tetraploid. Because putative hexaploid progenies were only observed among progenies of ‘Resi’, this hybrid cultivar appears to produce unreduced gametes. In addition, among the 14 putative hexaploids derived from ‘Resi’, 11 had larger flowers than both of their parents and their tetraploid siblings (p < 0.05). The 45S rDNA and 5S rDNA locus segregation among those BC1F1 progenies was tested by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and the wide range of 45S rDNA signal numbers among siblings indicated that these aneuploids resulted from unequal segregation or chromosome rearrangement. Chromosome counting confirmed aneuploidy among BC1F1 progenies. Ploidy diversity and aneuploidy have been known to contribute to various elements of morphological diversity, such as larger flower size and reduced fertility, which are important in ornamental plant breeding. The present study demonstrated the breeding potential of interspecific Hibiscus cultivars for increasing ploidy level and flower size.

Abstract
Hibiscus exhibits high variation in chromosome number both within and among species. The Hibiscus mutabilis L. karyotype was analyzed in detail using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with oligonucleotide probes for (AG3T3)3 and 5S rDNA, which were tested here for the first time. In total, 90 chromosomes were counted in prometaphase and metaphase, and all exhibited similarly intense (AG3T3)3 signals at both ends. (AG3T3)3 showed little variation and thus did not allow discrimination among H. mutabilis chromosomes, but its location at both ends confirmed the integrity of each chromosome, thus contributing to accurate counting of the numerous, small chromosomes. Oligo-5S rDNA marked the proximal/distal regions of six chromosomes: weak signals on chromosomes 7 and 8, slightly stronger signals on chromosomes 15 and 16, and very strong signals on chromosomes 17 and 18. Therefore, 5S rDNA could assist in chromosome identification in H. mutabilis. Metaphase chromosome lengths ranged from 3.00 to 1.18 μm, indicating small chromosomes. The ratios of longest to shortest chromosome length in prometaphase and metaphase were 2.58 and 2.54, respectively, indicating karyotype asymmetry in H. mutabilis. These results provide an exact chromosome number and a physical map, which will be useful for genome assembly and contribute to molecular cytogenetics in the genus Hibiscus.

Abstract
Telomeres are structures enriched in repetitive sequences at the end of chromosomes. In this study, using the telomere primer AA(CCCTAAA)3CCC for the single primer PCR, two DNA sequences were obtained from Gossypium hirsutum (Linnaeus, 1753) accession (acc.) TM-1. Sequence analysis showed that the two obtained sequences were all rich in A/T base, which was consistent with the characteristic of the telomere-associated sequence (TAS). They were designated as GhTAS1 and GhTAS2 respectively. GhTAS1 is 489 bp long, with 57.6% of A/T, and GhTAS2 is 539 bp long, with 63.9% of A/T. Fluorescence in situ hybridization results showed that both of the cloned TASs were located at the ends of the partial chromosomes of G. hirsutum, with the strong signals, which further confirmed that GhTAS1 and GhTAS2 were telomere-associated sequences including highly tandemly repetitive sequences. Results of blast against the assembled genome of G. hirsutum showed that GhTAS sequences may be missed on some assembled chromosomes. The results provide important evidence for the evaluation of the integrity of assembled chromosome end sequences, and will also contribute to the further perfection of the draft genomes of cotton.

Abstract
BACKGROUND C4 plants are efficient in suppressing photorespiration and enhancing carbon gain as compared to C3 plants. Bienertia sinuspersici Akhani is one of the few species in the family Amaranthaceae that can perform C4 photosynthesis within individual chlorenchyma cells, without the conventional Kranz anatomy in its leaf. This plant is salt-tolerant and is well-adapted to thrive in hot and humid climates. To date, there have been no reported cytogenetic analyses yet on this species. OBJECTIVE This study aims to provide a cytogenetic analysis of B. sinuspersici as the first step in genome sequencing. METHODS Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) karyotype analysis was conducted using the metaphase chromosomes of B. sinuspersici probed with 5S and 45S rDNA and Arabidopsis-type telomeric repeats. RESULTS Results of the cytogenetic analysis confirmed that B. sinuspersici has 2n = 2x = 18 consisting of nine pairs of metacentric chromosomes. Two loci of 45S rDNA were found on the distal regions of the short arm of chromosome 7. Nine loci of 5S rDNA were found in the pericentromeric regions of chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 6, and 8, which also colocalized with Arabidopsis-type telomeric repeats; while four loci in the interstitial regions of chromosome 5 and 8 can be observed. The single locus of 5S rDNA that was found in chromosome 8 appears to be hemizygous. CONCLUSION The FISH karyotype analysis, based on the combination of rDNAs, telomeric tandem repeat markers and C0t DNA chromosome landmarks, allowed efficient chromosome identification and provided useful information in characterizing the genome of B. sinuspersici.

Abstract
Chromosome painting is one of the key technologies in cytogenetic research, which can accurately identify chromosomes or chromosome regions. Oligonucleotide (oligo) probes designed based on genome sequences have both flexibility and specificity, which would be ideal probes for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of genome structure. In this study, the bulked oligos of the two arms of chromosome seven of cotton were developed based on the genome sequence of Gossypium raimondii (DD, 2n = 2× = 26), and each arm contains 12,544 oligos. Chromosome seven was easily identified in both D genome and AD genome cotton species using the bulked chromosome-specific painting probes. Together with 45S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) probe, the chromosome-specific painting probe was also successfully used to correct the chromosomal localization of 45S rDNA in G. raimondii. The study reveals that bulked oligos specific to a chromosome is a useful tool for chromosome painting in cotton.

Abstract
We report the cytogenetic map for a collection of species in the Oleaceae, and test similarities among the karyotypes relative to their known species phylogeny. The oligonucleotides 5S ribosomal DNA (rDNA), (AGGGTTT)3, and (TTG)6 were used as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes to locate the corresponding chromosomes in three Oleaceae genera: Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Syringa oblata, Ligustrum lucidum, and Ligustrum × vicaryi. Forty-six small chromosomes were identified in four species. (AGGGTTT)3 signals were observed on almost all chromosome ends of four species, but (AGGGTTT)3 played no role in distinguishing the chromosomes but displayed intact chromosomes and could thus be used as a guide for finding chromosome counts. (TTG)6 and 5S rDNA signals discerned several chromosomes located at subterminal or central regions. Based on the similarity of the signal pattern (mainly in number and location and less in intensity) of the four species, the variations in the 5S rDNA and (TTG)6 distribution can be ordered as L. lucidum < L. × vicaryi < F. pennsylvanica < S. oblata. Variations have observed in the three genera. The molecular cytogenetic data presented here might serve as a starting point for further larger-scale elucidation of the structure of the Oleaceae genome, and comparison with the known phylogeny of Oleaceae family.

Abstract
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using oligonucleotide probes for (GAA)6 (18 bp) and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) (5S rDNA, 41 bp) was applied to analyse Zanthoxylum armatum. (GAA)6 loci were detected on the pericentromeric regions of five chromosome pairs, and 5S rDNA loci were also detected on the pericentromeric regions of another two chromosome pairs. The densities and locations of (GAA)6 and 5S rDNA signals varied between individual chromosomes. High-intensity (GAA)6 signals were detected at the centromeres of two large and two smaller metacentric chromosomes. Relatively strong (GAA)6 signals were detected at the centromeres of two relatively small metacentric chromosomes, although strong 5S rDNA signals were detected at the centromeres of two additional smaller metacentric chromosomes. Weak (GAA)6 signals were detected at the centromeres of four large metacentric chromosomes, whereas weak 5S rDNA signals were detected at the centromeres of two smaller metacentric chromosomes. The remaining chromosomes exhibited no signals. Zanthoxylum armatum had 2n = ∼128. The lengths of the mitotic metaphase chromosomes ranged from 1.22 to 2.34 μm. Our results provide information that may be beneficial for future cytogenetic studies and could contribute to the physical assembly of the Zanthoxylum genome.

Abstract
In situ hybridization (ISH) is used to visualize defined DNA sequences in cellular preparations by hybridization of complementary probe sequences. Recently, the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique has become a powerful and useful tool for the direct detection of specific DNA fragments in the genome. Ribosomal DNA genes (45S and 5S rDNA) are commonly used as markers for the physical mapping of plant chromosomes to analyze genomic organization. Here we describe cytological-based markers to differentiate date palm gender through localization of 45S and 5S rDNA markers on date palm chromosomes using FISH.

Abstract
Lilium lancifolium Thunb. (2n = 2x = 24) is a cytologically conspicuous species with both diploids and triploids in nature. Cytological and molecular genetic analyses were carried out in both diploids and triploids that were collected from 55 geographical locations in Korea, Japan, and China. While the 5S rRNA gene loci were located at duplicated loci on the long arm of chromosome 2, the 45S rRNA gene loci were present in chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 11. While the loci on chromosomes 1 and 7 were constant, the loci on chromosomes 2, 4, 6, 7, and 11 were variable in some plants so that the L. lancifolium accessions were grouped into 7 cytotypes in diploids and 12 cytotypes in triploids. REMAP marker analysis revealed that the diploids were classified into seven clusters, and the triploids were classified into a large cluster. Geographic, cytological, and genetic differentiations were not related in both the diploid and triploid accessions of L. lancifolium. Thus, current genetic variations occurred prior to the geographic differentiation in both diploids and triploids, and the 45S rDNA cytotype variations occurred after geographic differentiation in the current habitats of L. lancifolium.

Abstract
The Plant rDNA database (www.plantrdnadatabase.com) is an open access online resource providing detailed information on numbers, structures and positions of 5S and 18S-5.8S-26S (35S) ribosomal DNA loci. The data have been obtained from >600 publications on plant molecular cytogenetics, mostly based on fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). This edition of the database contains information on 1609 species derived from 2839 records, which means an expansion of 55.76 and 94.45%, respectively. It holds the data for angiosperms, gymnosperms, bryophytes and pteridophytes available as of June 2013. Information from publications reporting data for a single rDNA (either 5S or 35S alone) and annotation regarding transcriptional activity of 35S loci now appears in the database. Preliminary analyses suggest greater variability in the number of rDNA loci in gymnosperms than in angiosperms. New applications provide ideograms of the species showing the positions of rDNA loci as well as a visual representation of their genome sizes. We have also introduced other features to boost the usability of the Web interface, such as an application for convenient data export and a new section with rDNA–FISH-related information (mostly detailing protocols and reagents). In addition, we upgraded and/or proofread tabs and links and modified the website for a more dynamic appearance. This manuscript provides a synopsis of these changes and developments.
